Constraint: A Sonnet

He is beyond good.
He smirks at me.

His flowers set the mood.
He's leaving around three.

In ecstatic air, I tremble.
A doom to walk without.

Life drops the tin-cup thimble.
When ladies' whispers shout.

The babies, barefoot, scramble,
-the glee of glowing cheek.

A wealth, as thus, cries ample.
Her mama's touch is meek.

Skirts and bows and ribbons stand.
Starched, vicarious holy land.
